At Dive Academy Inishmore, we specialise in scuba diving trips tailored for underwater photographers who want to focus on capturing the intricate beauty of marine life. Whether you're an experienced diver or new to underwater photography, our guided dives are designed to help you uncover a vibrant macro-world while staying in a manageable diving area.


Why Choose Our Macro-Focused Diving Trips?


  1. Dedicated Time for Photography
    Unlike traditional dives covering large distances, our trips allow you to linger and explore small areas teeming with life. Perfect for capturing the minute details of nudibranchs, coral patterns, crustaceans, and other fascinating macro-marine creatures.

  2. Experienced Guides
    Our expert guides are passionate about marine life and photography. They’ll lead you to the best spots for macro photography and help you identify the most photogenic subjects in Inishmore’s stunning underwater environment.
  3. Diverse Marine Ecosystem
    Inishmore’s waters are rich with marine biodiversity. From colorful anemones to shy pipefish, every dive offers countless opportunities to find unique subjects for your lens.
  4. Relaxed, Photographer-Friendly Dives
    Forget the pressure of keeping up with a group. Our small-group sizes and slow-paced dives ensure you have plenty of time to set up shots, adjust lighting, and experiment with your equipment.
